We have added a Gift Upgrades feature that allows you to gift an account upgrade to another member, just in time for the holiday season. You can see the gift option when going to the Account Upgrades screen, or on any user profile screen.

The car's on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel. And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides, and a dark wind blows. The government is corrupt, and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down, and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles. It went like this: The buildings tumbled in on themselves. Mothers clutching babies, picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upwards. Everything washed in a thin orange haze. I said; "Kiss me, you're beautiful - these are truly the last days." You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream or a fever. We woke up one morning and fell a little further down, for sure it's the valley of death. I open up my wallet and it's full of blood.

Do you visit threads after you receive an alert for that thread? If not, you won't receive new alerts. If that's not the problem, check the Alert Preferences on your profile page. Make sure they are set correctly. If neither of those suggestions help, send me the URL of one of your watched threads. Thanks.

I used to have this happen a lot. It's tapered off over the months but there's still one thread where it keeps happening. This Civ3 Succession game is the culprit in my case. I can 'confirm' that it stops pushing through an alert even if you visit the thread after receiving an alert. The alerts start coming through again when you visit the thread again manually (i.e. navigating through the forum itself) after a while.

Is there any possibility changing this system for my account? Because checking for alerts doesn't mean I have time to visit the 10+ threads I'm sometimes subscribed to at one time, and if I do visit them without reading due to lack of time, I have to move back through the thread to find the alert I didn't actually read.

I like the new forum style and options but the old subscription system was far superior. I've missed so many updates in Imperium Offtopicum due to this nonsense.

You know that you can click on "Watched Threads", right? It doesn't automatically show up on phones because "Account Upgrades" is listed last on the Forums menu (rather than first, as I would do it), but that's essentially the same as the old subscription system.

I did not know that. Thanks for your help.

Not sure if this is the right place for this question/request (if it is, please feel free to move it to/start a new thread), but it's certainly related:

I just discovered the 'New Posts' button, and it's very useful when looking for new/interesting threads to lurk or subscribe to, but there is no way (that I can see) to sort the entries (40 per page?) by potential interest-level.

Sooo... Would it be possible to get XenForo to auto-sort the 'New Posts' list e.g. by subforum, using the same kind of collapsible widgets as on the Forums front-page (and/or even allow users to set individual filters) so we can avoid being notified about things we're definitely not interested in?

e.g. Complaints about Civ VI's recent 'patches' seem to be blooming at a prolific rate right now. While this is quite understandable, given the modern paradigm of 'release first, bug-fix later', such posts/threads are entirely irrelevant to anyone who doesn't have the game (or any intention of buying it) -- so it would be useful in this case to be able to see "New Posts minus all those in the CivVI forum"
